Product Description

LOCTITE ABLESTIK A 359 is a one-component gray heat-cure structural epoxy adhesive for heat exchanger coil bonding, electric motor assembly, and pump or compressor component bonding. Typical cured shear strength is 17.2 N/mm^2 on steel and on aluminum, and 13.8 N/mm^2 on stainless steel. Its typical operating-temperature range is -40 to 175 deg C, with intermittent exposure up to 200 deg C. The paste exhibits zero sag with a 380 mil bead. Recommended cure schedules include 40 minutes at 135 deg C or 3 minutes at 175 deg C.

Key features

  • High-temperature service range: Typical operating range is -40 to 175 deg C, with intermittent exposure up to 200 deg C.
  • Accelerated heat cure: Recommended cure options include 40 minutes at 135 deg C, 30 minutes at 150 deg C, 10 minutes at 165 deg C, or 3 minutes at 175 deg C.
  • Metal shear strength: Typical shear strength is 17.2 N/mm^2 on steel and aluminum, and 13.8 N/mm^2 on stainless steel.

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume. For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.
